	Great Public Spaces: Toronto Waterfront \| Project for Public Spaces (PPS) - Placemaking for Communities
		Waterfront re-development initiatives that have the potential to create great public spaces are marginalized by poor design and vision cooptation by private investment, which has these public spaces falling under the shadow of high-rise buildings and parking lots.
		The centrepiece of the.35 hectares of wetland is a birdhouse sculpture- a miniature replica of the Toronto landscape at the beginning of the 20th century.
		Private investment-led development threatens to turn the waterfront into a tourist spectacle; already this investment-led strategy has resulted in a curtain of high-rise condos that visually and psychologically cut the waterfront off from the rest of the city.

	Robert Fulford's column about Toronto's waterfront
		Those who can remember when Toronto people routinely swam in their lake are slowly dying off.
		In 1992, the report of the Ontario royal commission on the waterfront called for clean water, among many other things, but nothing significant was accomplished.
		That's why it has occurred to me several times, during the debates over the waterfront, that I'd gladly trade a dozen of our political schemers and architectural dreamers for a few sanitary engineers with a plan for water purity and the ability to sell it to the people and the governments.
